I agree, this game is overpriced by how much is questionable. While this game has been receiving a lot of hype, the same thing happened to Lair and look how that ended up. I do not think that this game will reach 1.6 million, a range of 1.2-1.4million (120-140DKP) seems more realistic with the known install base of the PS3 and the previous game selling below 1 million copies.
This stock is one that is getting out of control. It appears its been largely overlooked as the stock price keeps rising. Killzone was a sub-million copy game. How are we even forecasting an 80% increase for a sequel on a console with a much smaller install base than the PS2?
I finally figured out how to edit images and such, so they are all now fixed. If anyone else needs to know it's under Game News and then "your images(articles videos etc.)then edit this (image, video, article).
Yes, I do realize that, it was an accident. I was submitting content for assassins creed, and had a Killzone tab open... I just submitted a Killzone 2 image in an attempt to bump it down, and linked the thumb wrong, so now there is a third and I fail at life.
Jess__, you realize that is an image for Assassin's Creed that you submitted for Killzone 2?
As for the developer's comments, every thing I've read says the first Killzone was pretty much a flop in terms of both critics' reviews and sales performance. Killzone is well known only from Sony's marketing muscle.
That just means that the developer either has no clue (since they couldn't even ballpark a figure) or they're outright lying. There's no source that claims it got to a million and their answer didn't exactly seem thought out.
I think this game is undervalued simply because the original trailer at E3 was done with CGI.
If the first game did indeed ship 1,600,000 games than you can expect this game to do even better simply because of the lack of very many good games on the PS3, even by July.
Expect this to do good because of the hype and media attention this game is causing as well.
